WILDLIFE/) oLineS By Phil White Emerald Sports Writer Someday when you’re engaged in a bull session with a group of piscatorial pursuants (fisher men*, quietly mumble, “you should have seen the five pound Largemouth that Ted caught in the slough the other day.” If someone starts to tremble and becomes glassy-eyed as he asks how, when anil when*, you’ll know that you’ve met a dieil-ln-the-wool bass fisherman. It's easy for the Black Bass to effect students in the same man ner, but in a state with such wonderful trout and salmon -ang ling. one might wonder why any one would go bass fishing. Try It Yourself The best way to discover why people become Largemouth luna tics is to go fish for bass. Pic ture yourself driving down a dirt road to our boat on the Willam ette at dawn. On campus the sun is warming the lawns, but down here, where we’re sur rounded by trees, it’s dark and cool. Since you’re our guest, we man the oars and shove off into the fog-shrouded water. As the shoreline melts away, you rig your tackle. Your five and one-half foot baitcasting rod, level wind reel, and nine pound test nylon line look like the ticket for bass. You’ll find that the light line increases distance and casting ease. We slip through a tangle of driftwood and find ourselves in a calm pool studded with lily pad9 and weeds. It looks like magazine covers you have seen, and is rather pretty even if you don’t like bass fishing. A Jitterbug Should Work Remembering that bass like surface plugs early or late in the day, you snap on a Jitterbug. Gazing around, you spot a tree stump half submerged in the cof fee-colored water. That looks like a bass spot even though you've never seen one. Before you realize it, your ping is sailing out in a low arch and then hits the water next to the stump with a quiet splash. The pre-season practice on the lawn really pays off. With your heart in your throat, you wait a half minute or so, then start the retreive. Slowly the plug gurgles toward you. Explosion—Your Bass! The next few minutes are hazy —the water suddenly erupts, and your plug disappears. Then there’s a bronze-backed jet fly ing through the air, his gills are flaring and your plug rattles in his huge mouth. You start to shout, but then remember, “control yourself, you don’t like bass fishing." You keep a tight line, and five minutes, ten shouts and three leaps later, bring the fish to net. He looks five pounds, rather than the three that he is. Theij you remember that we’re here with you. With glassy eyes, you turn, grin weakly and say, “why would anyone go bass fish ing? But what a fish!’’ | Jim Barnard sparked the win : for Phi Psi with 13 points. Ed Keegan, Larry Rose and Jim Gil | lespie each collected 8 for the I Sigma Nu’s.
